Best place to advertise treeless saddle?

[Nice anon]

I have decided to buy a new saddle and need to sell my current treeless saddle to put the money towards the new one.

I am wondering how successful the ads are on this DG? Has anyone sold a saddle and how quickly did it sell? It will cost me £10 to advertise my saddle, and I need to get as much as possible in a relatively short timescale (yeah I know I'm asking for the moon! LOL!) ;D

Can anyone recommend any other sites where I can advertise my saddle?

Thanks.

I bought my treeless from someone on here (well, on the old site!) They always seem to sell well on Ebay, too - what sort of treeless is it?

Hmmm - I was trying to remain anonymous so that I couldn't be accused of trying to sell my saddle on here without paying to advertise ... but then unless I logged in I couldn't reply to your query Anna!

It's a Freeform - fantastic saddle, and has done wonders for my horse's muscle development. ;D

This one went on Ebay for £550, but it was a 'Buy It Now' and I'm sure they've gone for more....

Thanks Anna. The underside photo looks weird - mine is beautifully clean sheepskin underneath! I would rather pay £10 to advertise on here if it will sell well, as it goes to a good cause rather than to eBay's profits! Might decide to put on eBay - will have to wait until I actually get my new saddle first otherwise will be riding bareback!

What type of Freeform is it? Just that I'm looking for a brown Freeform SB...

[sarak]

Sorry Chloe - it's a black ultrasuede Freeform Classic.

And i can vouch that it is gorgeous!! well looked after and in fantastic condition. LOL! eileen xx

Will it fit a fat cob, and how much?

[chloe]

That's a shame Good luck selling it!

mellymoo, a Freeform will definitely fit a fat cob - I trialled one for my very stocky New Forest and it was perfect on her! Full write up at www.freewebs.com/alternativehorse/treelesssaddlereviews.htm

If anyone is interested, then please PM me as I don't want to put prices up on here. I have advertised it on a few other boards that don't charge for ads, but if I end up selling it to someone from this DG I will give the cost of advertising (£10) towards the appeal!

Thanks Eileen. I am wavering now about buying the new saddle as it is SOOO expensive and I feel a bit nauseous thinking about spending that amount of money! LOL!

Quite like the western but Maliga has his Bob Marshell and Sarah-lee her green Dartmoor with a Softride in the making so I mustn't get any others ;D
